Images won't display... totally baffled!

I have two images on this page that won't display no matter what I do:

BreatheEasy Blood Pressure Reduction Program Tour

They are the credit cards image under the headline: Order BreatheEasy Now Online Via Paypal Or Call Us Toll-Free At 877-435-1985

And a similar image with a Paypal seal directly below the product specification grid.

If you see them let me know because I've checked on two different computers and browsers (but nothing outside my home yet).

The coding is totally standard and consistent with all the other images on the page that display properly.

One interesting note: On IE if I right-click and click "Show Picture" it appears. But reload the page and they disappear again.

Another thing: If you put the image url in the browser it displays the image. Then when you go back to the page you also see it. But once again, reload the page and it's gone.

I'm sure there's some weird little glitch somewhere but I've never seen this in years of working on my sites.

I've tried everything I can think of. Does anyone have an answer?

    Both the images are not showing up...either they are not uploaded in the directory you have specified...or their filenames are wrong...

    Check the filenames and folder where it is uploaded..

      Thanks for checking this for me, scharzes. If you're seeing them then there's something weird going on with my connection. Like I said, I can't get them to display in either IE or Firefox and on two different platforms.

      The file names and directories are absolutly correct, as you've shown by copying the urls.

        Just because you can copy the url, doesn't mean the url is correct.

        Triple check that the files are uploaded. Also urls are case sensitive.

    When I try to access them directly, they give a "page not found" error.

    You are using relative path incorrectly!

    HTML 101: learn the difference between relative path and absolute path when it comes to linking within your own website.

    E.g.
    Code:
    src="images/button_demo2.png"
    on a page of your website, like:
    example.com/something/here-is-my-fantastic-webpage.html

    will result in a link:
    example.com/something/here-is-my-fantastic-webpage.html/images.button_demo2.png

    If you want your relative links to be calculated from the root of your domain... start them with a slash:
    "/images/etc.png"
